cegid-talentsoft
Cegid Talentsoft integration via Apideck's HRIS unified API — same methods work across every connector in HRIS, switch by changing `serviceId`. Use when the user wants to read or sync employees, departments, payrolls, and time-off records in Cegid Talentsoft. Routes through Apideck with serviceId "cegid-talentsoft".

Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is a strong skill description that clearly identifies the specific integration (Cegid Talentsoft via Apideck HRIS API), lists concrete data entities it handles, and includes an explicit 'Use when' clause with natural trigger terms. The description is concise, uses third-person voice, and is highly distinctive due to the named product and serviceId.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'read or sync employees, departments, payrolls, and time-off records' and specifies the integration mechanism (Apideck's HRIS unified API, serviceId). Clear domain and actions. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both 'what' (Cegid Talentsoft integration via Apideck's HRIS unified API for reading/syncing employees, departments, payrolls, time-off) and 'when' (explicit 'Use when the user wants to read or sync employees, departments, payrolls, and time-off records in Cegid Talentsoft'). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes strong natural keywords users would say: 'Cegid Talentsoft', 'employees', 'departments', 'payrolls', 'time-off records', 'HRIS', 'Apideck', 'serviceId', and the specific serviceId value 'cegid-talentsoft'. Good coverage of terms a user working with this integration would use. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly distinctive — targets a specific product (Cegid Talentsoft) via a specific platform (Apideck) with a specific serviceId. Very unlikely to conflict with other skills unless there are other Cegid Talentsoft skills. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
72%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-structured connector skill with strong progressive disclosure and actionable code examples. Its main weaknesses are some marketing-style verbosity (the portability section and 'compounding advantage' paragraph waste tokens on concepts Claude doesn't need explained) and a lack of explicit workflow sequencing for the beta connector's coverage verification and fallback pattern, which is important given the acknowledged partial coverage.
Suggestions
Remove the 'Portable across 58 HRIS connectors' section or reduce it to a single sentence — Claude understands the serviceId swap pattern from the minimal example already.
Add an explicit numbered workflow: 1. Verify coverage → 2. Handle UnsupportedOperationError → 3. Fall back to Proxy API, with a validation checkpoint after the coverage check.
Trim the 'When to use this skill' section to just the numbered list — the introductory sentence and activation trigger examples are unnecessary context for Claude.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill contains some unnecessary verbosity — the 'Portable across 58 HRIS connectors' section is marketing-style explanation that Claude doesn't need, and the 'When to use this skill' section over-explains activation context. The 'compounding advantage' paragraph is pure sales copy. However, the core technical content is reasonably efficient. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable TypeScript code for listing employees, a concrete curl command for verifying coverage, and a complete proxy API escape hatch with real headers. The serviceId, auth type, and SDK initialization are all copy-paste ready. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | There's an implicit workflow (check coverage → use unified API → fall back to proxy if unsupported), but it's not presented as a clear sequential process with validation checkpoints. The connection lifecycle states are mentioned but not sequenced into actionable steps. For a connector that's in beta with 'partial resource coverage,' explicit verification-before-use workflow with error handling would be important. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Excellent progressive disclosure — the skill provides a concise overview with well-signaled one-level-deep references to SDK skills, best practices, connector coverage, OpenAPI specs, and sibling connectors. Content is appropriately split between this overview and referenced materials. | 3 / 3 |
